Battlefield 3 will feature the maximalist combined arms battles that made the series popular across single-player, co-operative and multiplayer modes. It will reintroduce several elements absent from the Bad Company games, including fighter jets, the prone position and 64-player battles on PC. To accommodate the lower player count on consoles, the ground area will be limited for Xbox 360 and PS3, though fly space will remain the same.Battlefield 3 features the return of class-based game play, with four classes: Assault, Support, Engineer and Recon. The abilities of the Frostbite 2 engine will be utilized, with the Engineer's flashlight able to blind other players, and concentrated LMG fire blurring the vision of suppressed players.Several game modes have been announced: Conquest, Rush, and a new mode, Team Deathmatch.

According to this post over on the Battlelog.
Some of the main concerns gamers have had about the game ...

One of the biggest releases of the year is of course Battlefield 3. Pretty much every gamer out there would have heard of this title and most will be considering very hard whether to buy BF3 or MW3 (Modern Warfare 3). One aspect of this hype is the huge amounts of speculation surrounding the Battlefield 3 System Requirements. The Battlefield series has long been a PC gaming favourite and BF2 was pretty much responsible for the majority of gamers upgrading their PC's RAM.

So the prospect that the high BF3 system requirements will push the limit of the average gamers rig, driving most of us to consider a serious upgrade to get the best from the game, is a very real possibility. But also the game is being developed to run on the current consoles which suggests that the minimum system requirements will have to be pretty low. And so the speculation continues. Well, we now have the Beta system requirements for BF3 in hand so lets take a look at what EA/Dice are saying we will need to run BF3...

So there we go then. It is looking a lot more likely that PC gamers are going to want, no, need a pretty powerful rig to get this beast running. Our GD adjusted requirements are what we reckon will likely enable you to get an acceptable gaming experience. These will be adjusted over time based on your feedback and our reports.
